Been working on my income tax.

 I should have it done today.

I don’t own any cows no more,

So I’ll probably have to pay.

Of course Cowboy wages and poetry,

Don’t add up to a heck of a lot.

The cost of; horse shoes, feed and fuel,

Sure does shrink the pot.

I subtract the truck repairs and vet bills,

And that taxable income...

is gone!

I scratch my head and wonder,

What the heck we’re living on!
